AVFKW X Making Magazine - The Sketch Quilt Kit

~~~

We are so excited for the release of Making 6 / Black and White and to share our newest project The Sketch Quilt Kit. In the magazine, Kristine, the designer of this project and co-owner of Verb writes:

"When I approached this project, I wanted to use a sewing technique which would lend itself to the act of sketching. This is not so much an exercise in matching corners and seams as one might find in more traditional quilting, instead, it is about playing with design, balance, and the scale of the chocolate brown woven fabric versus the plain white fabric. I landed upon the free-form technique of strip piecing (sometimes referred to as strip quilting). I went for a more minimalist approach, but your sketch and quilt may be denser, with more strips, creating more lines. The technique of strip piecing is easily adaptable."

We have created kits using the same materials Kristine used in her project. (Please note, however, that the cotton double gauze is a slightly wider and slightly lighter color than the original, as this fabric has been discontinued).
